Mr. Ely, would it be possible for you to place in the alphacentauri.com/gallery/ directory a multi-volume archive of the new trailer? (I believe both .ZIP and .ARJ have the capability.) You see, I have a 14.4K connection to my provider, which translates to about 1MB/10 minutes; and I have a 90 minute time limit per login. Which means that I have great difficulties downloading anything larger than 10 MB.
Thanks in advance, Foxtaur

You should get GetRight so you can resume downloads. |

You should also get a new Internet Service Provider! 90 minutes. How do you play online games? Although I agree that they could post a split version of the file. |

Perhaps I should, Apocalypse. Does it work on a non-SLIP, non-PPP, text-only, Lynx-based connection, which is what my Freenet offers? (I should also mention that when downloading, Freenet pulls the entire file into a temporary directory on its own machine, and then spits that file at me (usually through ZModem).)

Round here there's a service that has a one-time $40-$50 fee and then it's a free PPP for life with no time limits. Problem is, you're stuck with an uncloseable ad-banner window that stays on top of all other windows, even when you're in games, which sucks to say the least. |

I am not sure if it supports that, but it is worth a try. |
